The Duchess of Sutherland heading 'The Scarbourgh Flyer' through Diggle.
Another Scarborough Flyer trip to the East coast through Greenfield at the weekend brought a rare glimpse of a steam train shortly to be taken out of service.
The 46233 Duchess of Sutherland, built in 1938, chugged through the village on its way from Crewe to Scarborough, on a series of four sell-out nostalgic seaside journeys.
This Friday the 6201 Princess Elizabeth will be pulling the train.
